A World Unbroken: Restored

Last night we wrapped up our journey through the seven episodes of A World Unbroken. Create - Broken - Promise - Presence - Satisfied - Mission - Restored… it all tells the Story of God, from beginning to end. So we looked at the end last night, Restored. We focused on this beautiful picture of God coming to dwell with humans: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven...

A World Unbroken: Mission

It’s hard to believe that we have just one week left of A World Unbroken. It has been a great couple months as we have talked, learned, and journeyed together through the Story of God. May we live in the Story every day. Here are some thoughts from our time together last night. The focus was Mission. We started off the night with Ethan and Izaak singing together. Yep, if you...

A World Unbroken: Promise - Presence

We are over halfway through our seven weeks of A World Unbroken! We have been having some great discussions and hope that we have all been able to apply what we’ve talked about in our own lives and world. Last Wednesday, we looked at the Promise episode. Since we didn’t do a write-up on this episode, here are both the Promise and Presence write-ups. Again, we hope these thoughts can...

A World Unbroken: Broken

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on me, a sinner. That was our prayer last night as we journeyed together through the second episode of A World Unbroken, Broken. Creation and all of its beauty and goodness that we talked about and experienced last week has become broken, no longer what it was created to be. It’s not hard to see brokenness in our world, is it? From...

Each week, we will write up a short summary of the the week’s focus. This might help you if you aren’t able to be at youth group for a week, and it might help parents know and understand...

God's Story: The How

We have been talking about this whole story thing for a while now. We started discussing God’s story back in June as seven of us prepared for NYC 2011: A World Unbroken. But God’s story and a world unbroken aren’t just limited to the week we spent in Louisville at NYC. That’s why we have continued talking about how we all can engage in God’s story. That’s why we...
